In episode 1, we speak to the legendary Sue O'Sullivan of Spare Rib & Shaila Shah of Outwrite about British feminism's 'international turn' in the early 80s 🎙️
Here's Shaila on how 'women in other countries had different priorities & a Western feminist agenda could not dictate'

The March 1985 issue is another fantastic example of the use of women's art on the cover. The black and white photo used is of Lubaina Himid's 1983 cutout - We Will Be - offering an anti-colonial & feminist statement.
